BBC Radio 4 - Round Britain Quiz, Programme 2, 2020

Tom Sutcliffe asks the questions as the teams from the North of England and the Midlands compete in the cryptic quiz.

(2/12)
Can you explain how an English magician, a football team whose motto is 'Power in Motion', and something developed by a Serbian-American inventor, could really shake up the start of the week?

The panellists in Round Britain Quiz this week will face this and many other similarly convoluted puzzles, for which they'll need all their reserves of arcane knowledge and all their powers of lateral thought. The North of England, represented by Adele Geras and Stuart Maconie, begin the defence of the Round Britain Quiz series champions' title which they won last year. Opposing them are the Midlands pairing of Stephen Maddock and Elizabeth-Jane Burnett. Tom Sutcliffe is in the chair to ensure fair play, and to offer helpful hints where necessary - but the more hints the teams need, the fewer points they'll get.

Producer: Paul Bajoria

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
